Nigerian music star Burna Boy has officially announced the release of his first single of 2025, titled Update.
The Afrobeats sensation dropped the track ahead of his forthcoming album, No Sign of Weakness, setting the stage for what fans anticipate will be another chart-topping era.
Speculation surrounding Burna Boy’s new release had been building after the singer made a dramatic social media move.
He deleted all his posts on his Instagram account and replaced his profile picture with a cryptic ‘loading’ icon against a black background, fueling discussions across social media platforms.
Fans were quick to predict that new music was on the horizon, and their guesses proved right.
The track Update reportedly features a sample from Soul II Soul’s iconic song However Do You Want Me.
The artist first teased the single on Instagram on February 18, sharing a snippet that showcased a visually striking, tug-of-war-inspired concept.
In the teaser, Burna Boy single-handedly holds his ground against three men pulling on the other end of a rope.
